	I am running a laser printer from my PC's parallel port. Now I'd 
like to add a parallel dot matrix printer as well. 

	Can I *add* a parallel port to my PC? 
	Can I use a serial port to run a parallel printer? 
	Can I get a switch thing to direct my output from one port 
	between two printers?
	Is there any other way I can get this going?

	Only *you* know the answers.
